The Gregory Jade 40 is a weekend-sized pack for women who have Adirondack overnights and New Hampshire hut trips on their to-do list.

The Jade 40 sits right at the balance point of the Gregory women's line in terms of weight, volume and carrying capacity. Overnights are where it excels, but longer trips are within reach for experienced packers. The main compartment is accessible through the top and via a long side-access zipper on the left side. Additional pockets are found on the hood, front of the pack, and the hip belt, so you can stay organized. The Jetstream LTS suspension featured on theJade 40 is anchored by a large and well-padded lumbar pad, which is one of the pack's most-praised features. The shape of the lumbar pad and back panel open up additional airspace behind your back, allowing for better ventilation and giving "Jetstream" its name. The shoulder straps are fixed, but the hipbelt adjusts to a full range of sizes regardless of which torso length you pick, so it can adapt to changing waistlines - changing, we hope, because you're losing weight while through-hiking the PCT, and not the other way around.

Not every backpacking trip has to be a week-long epic. For those short but sweet getaways, the Jade 50 is the Gregory pack of choice.

When Friday afternoon finally rolls around, you'll be ready to load up the Gregory Women's Jade 40 Backpack and head to the backcountry for a weekend of much-needed alpine trekking. The women-specific Jetstream LTS suspension system eliminates unnecessary contact points with your back for maximum ventilation and provides ample support for your gear. Plus, the side-access zipper allows you to grab an extra layer when the sun dips without unpacking everything.

Gregory's JetStream LTS suspension system is strong, simple, and lightweight. It also provides cooling airflow across your back to pull moisture and heat away. The back panel is made with a moisture-wicking, breathable mesh to transfer heat and moisture away from your body. Access to the Jade 40's main compartment is made easy with an opening at the top and a large side access zipper. A large stretch mesh front pocket provides convenient storage for items that you'll need to get to through the course of your hike, such as lunch and rain gear. The pack also provides easy access to small items with dual waist belt pockets and a large dump pocket on the front of the pack, as well as a highly water-resistant top pocket with a waterproof zipper and sealed seams.
